element General

Documentation

This module contains general information about the scheduling horizon and the problem instance.

Properties

This component is not nillable.

Nested Element Summary

AllowSequenceCutoff
Allows to specify how sequences on the border of the scheduling horizon are treated.

CyclicSchedule

If this element is used, the schedule is cyclic and the last day of the schedule is again followed by the first day.

xs:date

EndDate
Last day of the scheduling period (inclusive), if not present, PeriodLength must be specified.

TimePoint

EndTime
Ending time of the scheduling horizon on the last day, default: 00:00 (of the following day)

WeekDay

FirstWeekDay
If PeriodLength is used, denotes the day of the week of the first day in the schedule, default: Monday.

xs:boolean

IgnoreIndividualRosters
If set to true, solvers are not required to produce an individual schedule for each employee, instead, a solution consists of a list of shift instances together with the number of employees of each type working this shift on each day; If this option is used, only VariableEmployees can be defined, where all hired employees are assumed to be available each day without restrictions (Preferences and EmployeePairings are ignored); Contracts may contain only the ProvidedSkills and ValidShifts elements; Default: false

xs:nonNegativeInteger

PeriodLength
Length of the scheduling period in days, either this or StartDate and EndDate must be specified.

xs:boolean

ShiftDesign
If set to true, this instance contains shift types of variable start and end times and/or duration, solvers are required to construct working periods for the employees that match the given constraints of the shift types; Instances without this element may only use shift types with a fixed start and end time; Default: false

xs:date

StartDate
First day of the scheduling period, if not present, PeriodLength must be specified.

TimePoint

StartTime
Starting time of the scheduling horizon on the first day, default: 00:00

TimeSpan

TimeSlotLength
Length of a single time slot, all shift, break and task lengths are multiples of this value, must be specified whenever time-based constraints are used.

WeekendDefinition
If this element is present, the time counted as weekend can be specified, default: shifts starting on Saturday and Sunday.
